Lots of leaps of logic there. For one it assumes that causality as understood currently by man was always so. The other major one is it also blurs between causality and time progression
I'm more of an agnostic because I don't really know if there is a God or not and the universe is a lot more vast and...

Heaven, purgatory or hell. Turns out the biggest tradition has put the most thought into it and has the best answers.

It's not arguing from temporal series, like a row of dominos falling over. It's arguing from an essential series, like that train example.
It's asking: If all material things need their potential to be actualized, that actualizer must not be material.

because things don't actualize themselves. It's like arguing the pen might actualize its potential to be on the floor. But the pen only goes on the floor when someone throws it there. Self-actualization would mean that things can suddenly fly around, bend or even pop into existence from nothing.
Why doesn't the potential red elephant in your room actualize its potential to be there? Potential things can't actualize.

Why cant two items help actualize each other?
